It wasn’t Kardashian’s first head-turning masked moment.

Back in 2021, she attended the same gala in an all-black Balenciaga catsuit with a cape, her head entirely concealed. But even repeat stunts didn’t soften the shock this time. And of course, social media users were quick to react.

”I didn’t realize that there was a Botox shortage until this,” one user wrote.

”Looks like one of those crazy looking pumpkin heads,” another added.

”Worst dressed star”

Outlets didn’t hold back either.

The Daily Mail promptly labeled her look one of the “worst dressed stars” of the night, calling the 44-year-old SKIMS founder’s masked ensemble “peculiar.”

The article noted, “Among the style blunders at the Annual Academy Museum Gala was a peculiar masked look from none other than red carpet queen Kim Kardashian.” Fans echoed the criticism, and some confusion, online.

One user on X likened it to a tongue-in-cheek “cover the face with a brown bag” joke: “Guarantee you it isn’t the first time somebody had to cover her face!” another chimed in.
